First principle Thinking arose from mathematics and has impacted scientific fields more broadly. It has some similarities to Occam’s Razor in terms of identifying the simplest solutions; and has inspirations from the Scientific Method in terms of identifying and testing assumptions. Be sure to explore the Feynman Technique as a practical way to apply First Principles as a habit. (modelthinkers.com)
